No more Constipation, NOW diarrhea :/

[Marla290 3]

So I fixed my Constipation problem with a gentle laxative and some pineapple juice and now I have diarrhea! I am 10 days post surgery, and although I'm glad to be having any bm's at all, I want to be regular again! Will that ever happen? Will it get better once I start eating some actual food?

that sucks. from one extreme to another. are you on mushy's yet? when you eat more solids, it will get better. stay away from the laxatives, obviously

Thanks! I will be on mushies this friday, what did you have during that stage? I'm confused as to what it is beside mashed potatoes :/

[mauraclegg 29]

That is totally normal !! It too shall pass

[mauraclegg 29]

For mushies I had tuna, pastina, potatoes, I even had finely ground hamburger with sour cream and taco seasoning. Retried Beans are mentioned often, as it humus

i had lots of Soups, Tomato, potato, chicken noodle. but i love soups. oh and cottaqe cheese, small curds. yogurts, puddings.< /p>

Thanks for the ideas! I am soooo tired of Soups though I haven't had any noodles though...I guess I'm tired of the whole broth and creamy things. Haha the beef and sourcream sound delish! Any more ideas??? I'm thinking of making a fish Soup that I pulled off line, it sounds really good.

Just googled Pastina cause I didn't know what it was, maybe I can add that to my fish Soup. I thought we weren't suppose to have rice or Pasta? Is it okay to have in week 3?

I lived off of chili, things with cream cheese ( mix alfredo spinach onion and pepper melt sme cheese on top eat with some shreded chicken so good!), Soup and mashed potatoes ( mix with sun dried Tomato, basil, and some feta yummmss!)

Good luck and dont stress about bm right now cuz your body is going nuts
